YFO 2017 - Yosemite and Beyond - June 1-3, 2017

So we're trying to lure hppants and RedfishHunter and his Pops and maybe a few other know accomplices out to California next year for another rolling clusterfeck ala the WheatonFJR/airboss debacle a few years back. 2016 is already quite full so we're looking way ahead to 2017. Open to ideas for dates... thinking maybe May or June depending on other regularly scheduled FJR events.

Let the planning begin...

In!

So f'n in!

IN!! And this one's serious!

I vote for the end of May, early June.

I've got a framed US map of the National Parks on my office wall that my kids gave me for Father's Day years ago. They also gave me a box of pins to place on a given park after I have visited it.

The State of California is woefully desolate on my map.

It's time to remedy that!!!

IN!!

oh shit...

I already know what Dad will say. hmmm...

By the way, What does YFO stand for?

IN !!!

I had to out-do FYB...

Yosemite Fun with 0Face

Let's see...Head north towards Ohio to collect Joe, west to Chicago to collect Marty, South to Louisiana to collect RFH, Pops and Pants and then head west to Cali! Lisa, you can come down and leave with me from the house. That would be epic!

The "Y" stands for Yosemite since that was the subject that got this all started... FO stands for FJR Owners (like NAFO, etc.)... although Marty's definition works too...

Will plan on joining the cluster.

IN!!! (I'm so excited!)

Time to get the trailer hitch for the 15.

I was thinking Y might mean Yosemite and I figured FO was FJR owners but since this is such a strange crowd, logic does not always work.

Like now for example. Logic tells me that in August of 2017 my beloved father will be 72 years old. Both of my grandfathers died at 72. I cannot imagine...

I am about to call Pop and discuss this. I bet you folks already know what he is going to say.

I've had Yosemite on my list for so long its firmly entrenched at the number one destination. I was going to try and swing NAFO and Yosemite in together this summer, but it's not to be. Between the exchange rate, buying a new house and moving this spring and some other things I can't yet talk about.

But next year, next year is a whole new thang!

MAYBE!

Bob - we gulf coasters will happily head northwest and cut you guys off at the pass - maybe somewhere in Texas. For good measure, we can mosey into some saloon and wash the dust down.

Waiting 12 weeks for SEOR has been pretty torturous. This might throw me over the edge, man....

Pants, if you make it to Cali, you'll have to stick some pins in places that aren't National Parks. We've got plenty of pin-worthy roads for ya. And some of you coming across, I'm thinking you could make this a Y2FO and catch Yellowstone on the way in too. Both different, both great. And you'd be able to pick up a pair of almost-matching YNP stickers.

As for me--IN. Whenever. Thanks for starting the ball rolling to Tyler.
